UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers the Wishmore route to GU24 8NS, using a saloon car for one pupil travelling from Staines-upon-Thames every weekday, one pupil from Addlestone three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and one pupil from Stanwell, Staines-upon-Thames, on Wednesday and Friday mornings only. The service includes the possibility of providing a car seat. The journey is a scheduled passenger transport service, with daily route distances of 21.08 miles on Monday, 20.31 miles on Tuesday and Thursday, and 23.57 miles on Wednesday and Friday.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Galaxy Cars was selected for the single requirement. The award was made on 4 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an awarded value of £5,965,714 including taxes. The buyer required suppliers to price the transport by mileage for each day. The contract is active, and the procurement status is complete. This outcome records one supplier for the full transport requirement rather than separate awards across multiple lots.

This award shows a substantial, scheduled requirement for specialist school transport from Surrey County Council, delivered through a limited competition rather than an open procedure. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable saloon-car transport for SEND passengers, cover weekday journeys from Staines-upon-Thames, Addlestone and Stanwell, and manage different attendance patterns and morning-only travel. The ability to accommodate a child who may need a car seat is relevant, as is accurate mileage-based pricing for routes that vary by day. Suppliers should be able to coordinate regular school transport safely and consistently across the identified Surrey locations, with capacity suited to individual-pupil journeys and the operational discipline required for term-time schedules.
